I'm going to speak this evening on the subject "Life is like a wisp of fog." Did you see the fog out yesterday? The Bible says that's what life is like. Here is the passage which tells us that.

It's getting harder and harder for people to be intellectual atheists. Some people call themselves atheists. They are like the guy who said, "I'm an atheist, thank God." There are some people who are atheist just because it is convenient for them to be so, but there are other people who are intellectual atheists.
Somebody said that an atheist doesn't find God for the same reason that a thief doesn't find a policeman. He's not looking for him. There are some people, though, that I think who are intellectual atheists. They just do not believe intellectually that God really exists, that there really is a God.
But there is another kind of atheist, and James deals with this atheist in these verses of scripture. There is the practical atheist. The practical atheist would say that he intellectually ...
